Innocence
The swore it. Children shouldn't
swear at all.
But a simple friendship wasn't
satisfying. They needed a false
sisterhood.
And a manifestation of it. They worked
an entire summer on the tree
house.
It would go in the tree in her
grandparents' yard. The one that
had the flowers like powdered
sugar surronding the winding
branches.
They calloused their small hands every
day until the face of the moon a
white fire drove them inside.
Only a few years later they passed each
other in a crowded hall with
nothing more than an awkward
glance between them.
